Event

Join Alta CA on Monday, June 30th from 3:00pm - 5:00pm to welcome cookbook author and New York Times reporter, Jennifer Steinhauer. With ticket purchase, you'll get an autographed copy of her new book, "Treat Yourself: 70 Classic Snacks You Loved as a Kid (and Still Love Today)", the chance to meet the author and sample sweets from the cookbook, and enjoy a craft cocktail from Alta CA.

About the Book:

When her New York Times article on making homemade Twinkies went viral, Jennifer Steinhauer had no idea just how big the nostalgia for classic snack foods was. But as she found out, "For Americans of a certain age, memory lane is paved in Ho Hos." In Treat Yourself: 70 Classic Snacks You Loved as a Kid (and Still Love Today), Jennifer captures that nostalgia with recipes to honor and replicate these iconic snack foods.

Treat Yourself is equal parts food trivia, personal anecdotes, and DIY Devil Dogs, and Jennifer frames each recipe by elaborating on the distinct pleasures associated with each treat.
